baking soda bath side effects - #13312

Palak

I am feeling a bit overwhelmed and honestly confused about this whole baking soda bath thing. I read somewhere that a baking soda bath could help with skin issues, like eczema or just overall skin irritation, which I’ve been struggling with since the weather changed. I decided to try it last week, just a small cup of baking soda in my bath, thinking it would be super calming. But after I got out, my skin felt kind of weird, like tingly or something. And then I started readin about baking soda bath side effects. Some people say it can cause dryness or irritation. I mean, is that really a thing? I'm not sure if what I felt was normal or if I messed something up. I didn't use too much baking soda, just the recommended amount. Am I just overreacting or could this actually lead to baking soda bath side effects like, I don't know, an allergic reaction or something worse? My skin is still a little off a few days later. Should I stop trying these baths altogether? Does anyone else get weird reactions after using baking soda baths? Just trying to figure out if it's worth it or if there’s safer alternatives, since I'm really looking to help my skin and not make it worse.
